Subject: BS: The US worker revolution has begun
By an illegal legislative decree, (a vote with no notification) Wisconsin repub politicians are poised to implement a shock doctrine of dissolving democracy and abolishing 135 years of workers rights.
Beyond workers rights... It is a draconian power grab by corporations to take over the power plants, water systems and silence local goverments and towns by giving the Govenor the power to dissolve any municipal city or town government and give it to an individual or corporation to rule.
People have taken to the streets in Wisconsin, Indianapolis, Lansing and even in Ohio.
This Friday there is a planned national walk out of High School students.
I truely beieve that this time Walker and the wealthiest 400 have tried to take a bridge to far.
Rove and Koch Bros. are pouring money into TV commercials to lull people to put up with it and shut up about it. Its not working. Recalls are called for the Senators and one year from now the GOvenor of Wisconsin.
The irony here is that the illegal repub vote to disband collective bargaining took place on the birthday of FDR's New Deal.
This seems to me to have lit the short fuse of many American workers and the disenfranchised at long last.
All the repub attacks are happening in the north since they have had total control of the south for some time. They already have the town Silver Spring in Georgia that was stripped of local control and sold to a corporation. Crazy laws are being considered in the dead of night across the country that will have deadly effects on democracy itself.
I really believe this is the beginning of the next great worker revolt.
